Hey everyone. I have two 150w hps for flower and another for veg & I'm wanting to switch to Cree led. My tent is 5x2. I was thinking cxb 3590 and having two separate heatsinks for flower. Maybe 4 Cree cxb on each. Just trying to get some ideas now that I have the rest of my setup figured out. Thanks

for a good distribution of light for flower, I would use three heat sinks 5.88" w x 18"l w/ 2-1400mm fans, 2 HS with 3-cxb3590, 36v, 3500k, and 1 HS with 2-cxb3590, 36v, 3500k in center position; 3-2-3;,. 2 HLG-185H-C1400 drivers will give you 400 watts dimmable to 200 watts of you can push it up using 2-HLH-185H-C1700 drivers, to power your space, and a 12/12 1W led driver for the fans. All available from any one supplier out there. meanwell drivers and Cree Cob's . that is what I did for a 3x3 and good PPFD numbers of 1220 ppfd. This is a very common configuration BTW. peace

Thanks @VegasWinner that is amazing. And I definitely like the dimmable part. Would that be too big for 3x2, if you took out the middle one? And put them like one in the front and one in the back

2 heat sinks 5.88" w x 18" l, four Cree cxb 3590, 36v, 3500k, two HLG-185h-C1400 dimmable drivers.. Does this setup sound good for a 3x2? I'm going to use my 3x2 and not my 5x2 so I won't have to purchase as many lights.

With4 cobs 36v you only need one driver. My setup has 8 so 2 drivers 4 per driver at 36v peace

Ok thanks a lot so 1 driver but would you use 2 fans or no fans and is that all I would need, just drill a hole in the side of the heat sinks for hanging them up?
